This week, Southern and Milford/Dorchester square off against each other on Friday at 7:00 PM. Southern might be feeling good about this one after its surprising comeback last game.
It has taken one games to get there, but Southern has finally bested an opponent on the road. It didn't have too many spare points last week in its contest with Raymond Central, but still walked away with a 15 - 9 win. The win came about thanks to a strong surge after the half to overcome a deficit of nine points.
Meanwhile, Milford/Dorchester's encounter with Bishop Neumann two weeks ago was a 40-point stomp, but the result last week was anything but. Milford/Dorchester came out on top in a nail-biter against Ashland-Greenwood last week, sneaking past 36 - 34. Milford/Dorchester's offense might have been extra motivated to turn things around after difficulties scoring in its previous game.
Their wins bumped Milford/Dorchester to 2-3 and Southern to 1-4. Both Southern and Milford/Dorchester have been struggling on the defensive side of the ball (the former allowing an average of 38 points per game, the latter an average of 30 points per game). We'll find out which offense can take advantage of this fact when the two teams meet this week.
